Bicyclists face many unique challenges. Sharing the road with motor vehicles means following the same safety laws as everyone else, but also dealing with the hassles of heavy traffic, less visibility, and less protection than those in cars and trucks. Cyclists also tend to have less room to maneuver when riding, which puts them at further risk for accidents and collisions.
Even with the miles and miles of bike lanes in our city, negligent and reckless drivers still cause tragic accidents. At The Hayden Law Firm, we protect victims of bicycle collisions and crashes, determining the person responsible for your injuries and holding them accountable. We seek financial compensation for your damages and losses, never settling for anything less than what you are entitled.

No matter the cause of your accident, our lawyers can identify liable parties and pursue the full compensation you deserve for your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other accident-related damages.
The injuries for cyclists are often catastrophic due to the lack of protective equipment such as air bags, windshields, and seat belts. Broken bones and fractures are extremely common, as are spinal cord injuries, shoulder injuries and head injuries – even when a helmet is worn. Many of these injuries require financial resources now and in the future to cover the costs or rehabilitation, physical therapy, in-home care, and other costs. It is critical to make sure you get a settlement or jury award that protects your long term medical and financial interests.
